> I feel that I am not able to attract and keep love in my life. I'm insecure and people don't seem to find that attractive. The one person I have that I really love and trust and respect and admire and all of those good things is my therapist. But of course I can't tell him how I feel and there's no point anyway b/c as we all know it can't go anywhere. But my appreciation for him goes so deep that if I even just think about him not being there or moving away I will cry. I am so pathetic--the one person I feel closest to of course is one I have a one-way, doctor-patient relationship with. I meet a million guys in real life and it never goes anywhere.

> Anyway, I'm really down so I could use some words of encouragment.Are you still around? Your work has to be with a therapist but if you feel you can't tell him how you feel because you have a crush on him then you should tell him that. It can bel really dangerous to see a T you have a crush on for a long time .. his job is to move you out of the crush and into friendly trust so you can feel how he appreciates you and you want to live into that. You need to live into his respect for you and from that, you can develop real-life relationships, any ones that you want.
